Strong claims Premier Christy Clark has been deleting her own government e-mails

This morning more evidence was presented to the public from the NDP claiming that It’s likely the Premier herself & others within the Premiers Office may have been deleting e-mails also. Friend of Drex Live Travis Lupick wrote this piece for the Georgia Straight.

“Eby explained the NDP filed a freedom-of-information request that asked for all correspondence to and from Premier Christy Clark’s public and private email addresses for a two-week period in December 2014 (coinciding with an announcement about the Site C dam). That request resulted in the government stating it could find no records meeting the criteria of the request.

A subsequent freedom-of-information request asked for the “message tracking logs” for the same account and same period, Eby continued. The government’s response to that request, however, stated that there were more than 150 emails sent from the premier’s public account during that time frame.”

We spoke to Travis Lupick about his article tonight on the show: Listen Again

We also caught up with the NDP’s David Eby tonight to find out what happens next with the evidence that they say they have found.

Bob Mackin one of Vancouver’s most respected investigative journalists joined us to talk about what evidence of e-mail deletion he also found. He has previously stated publiclyhe may have proof that emails were deleted from accounts belonging toSam Oliphant andMaclean Kay, both of whom work in the premier’s office as media relations officers.

Global BC’s Keith Baldrey also joined the show tonight to talk about how journalists are covering this on-going story.

“the NDP claiming that It’s likely the Premier herself & others within the Premiers Office may have been deleting e-mails also.”

Seriously, it’s “likely”? My God, I am all for transparency, but coming out and saying it’s “likely” is as good as lying to the public. Eby should wait till there’s better proof. If they want to win votes, don’t do it with lies wen they already accuse the BC Liberals of lying.

Eby asked to see the emails, there were none. There were, according to the story, records of 150 emails to/from the premier’s office during the time period requested. That would indicate that they had been deleted, which is against the law. It really isn’t a stretch to understand that the government, both ministers and the minions that have been instructed by those ministers (or premier), have been told to delete emails which could (a) embarrass the BC Liberal government or (b) hide illegal activity. Why else do people hide things?

This government does not have clean hands. They got away with BC Rail and Ethnogate. The Health Ministry firings were unconciable but they blustered their way through that. It seems that they are getting more brazen as time goes on because they feel they are bullet-proof. They can do as they want and nothing happens and they get voted in again. It is time for BC people to take back their province. We need to know what the government is doing. If there is no proof that they have been doing anything all these years, they need to be fired. Why are we paying for nothing………

Jason – I wouldn’t say they do nothing. I’m sure they spend a lot of time looking for photo ops for Clark. Then of course there is all that time spent teaching her how to speak. They aren’t doing very well in that department. Plus of course there are all those hours spent in make-up. Again, not working.

Hopefully BC voters understand that the BC Liberals has no affiliation with the federal Liberal Party of Canada, and that the BC Liberals is not even a liberal or left-wing party, but is a conservative, right-wing party. The BC Liberals and BC Conservatives even considered merging together in recent history.

The BC Liberals have acknowledged that they’re tail-coating on the Liberal brand due to its popularity, and were reportedly going to change their name before the federal Liberal’s surge in popularity. So the BC Liberals is a party of fraud in name and self-representation. And then there’s everything else that’s a problem with this party.

It’s unfortunate BC voters didn’t go through with heaving them in the last provincial election. Hopefully BC voters will amend that electoral outcome in the next election.

I think there needs to be some campaigning to bring awareness to the fact that the BC Liberals are neither affiliated with the Liberal Party of Canada, nor are they a particularly liberal party. A lot of voting people presume otherwise, and that’s to the detriment of BC residents, and probably also for the federal Liberal party. And it spoils the ballots of BC voters who vote in provincial election believing their vote to be going to something which it is not, when they vote for the BC Liberals.

If there are no e-mails or records in the dismissal of Mr. Boessenkool then how can the Gov’t defend itself against a wronful dismissal suit. This whole thing is shameful and trust me it comes right from the premier and those two guys who run our Province. Her husband and brother.
